How detailed do you mean by detailed? Also, fully painted ones, depending on how fully painted too. One option is to get a PG then request for a custom job for it to be professionally painted, but that might cost a bomb though.

Other than that, I've not seen a ready made one with the level of detail as a PG.

Ah ok. The plastic for those already comes in the right color out of the box. I guess the only things to do is to do the panel lining to give it a more finished look. While you can paint them if you want, it really depends on the individual. However, the figure of the pilot is likely to be in the original white plastic though.

PG is Perfect Grade, in a way, you can say that its the final word in Gundam Models. Complete with a very detailed internal frame, with fingers where each joint is fully articulated too. Stands at 1/60 scale while most others including the one that you had posted stands only at 1/100

Well, the ease of construction tends to differ from model to model. As for the Strike Freedom, I've not done one before, so hopefully others here who has will be able to let you know what r the areas to watch out for.

As for colors, from what I had noticed from the box contents, the strike freedom's plastics r a pretty close match to what it should be, unlike the plastic color of a Kampfer which is damn ugly if unpainted.

However, one thing in common to all plastic kit construction is that you will need to take care when cutting out the pieces, and removing the excess plastic. That part although not really that difficult does require some patience to do lar...

u might wan to search in garage sale which got forumer selling it much cheaper..
edison will be the guy u looking for..

Thats why... start lookin a bit 'seed'-ish
it izzint fully assembled, but its abt 95% fully colored according to the anime/design colors... gundams hg,pg, or mg mostly are all colored this way.. so u don hv to worry abt the coloring parts..

as for the assembly.. i doubt u can get a fully assemble SF. but if ure willing or u hv the money, there r some ppl in this forum may hv the skills to assemble,mod, and color model kits, just that u have to buy the kit first, then send to them to assemble-mod-color and might cost u extra rm300 + the kit price, so u go around rm500 plus minus..

if ure wondering how 'hard' is the assembly process, i dare to say to u its quite easy if ure aged 12 and above that is.. its quite simple really...

what u get out of the box? example:

[attachmentid=186896]

this is a typical HG kit, so u get colored runners.. mostly u dun need any sort of coloring..

[attachmentid=186897]

these are the whole runners.. so u need to have a cutter of sume sort to cut away these parts away frm the runners.. fret not, the runners/parts are all coded in like runner A part no. 23 for example, so the manual represents the part as A23 to assemble.

[attachmentid=186898]

this is an example of the assembly manual.. even tho its 100% japanese, the pics are enough to guide u thru the assembly process.. trust me.

and if u need good deals on gundam kits, u can always go HERE to one of our forummers for good deals..

hope that helps...

wat HUGE mistake?

guess worth it, if u buy it frm Kuching, Sarawak. it cost 120+ here. but it not worth it if u knw Edison.

lol.. mostly everyone has at least bought thier gunpla's at high prices.. all before knowing edison or even good shops like Time Machine, Fantasy Toys, Grafitti, etc..

consider ureself undergone a 'rite of passage' to be a gunpla collector..

anyways.. why dun u withdraw frm the bid..? sure it may look bad for ure reputation, but 100++ is quite a lot of money.. if i were u i just FFK just my 10 sen..

Wish u the best of luck, atleast u knw Edison faster than some of us, some of us may already burn 1000+ than find out Edison selling it cheaper.   Maybe next Gunpla for u is a MG?

ok, hope i right about tis, PG is bigger than MG wif more detail than MG, that why itway more expensive than other Grade. For how many grade there is, i try to list out.

Non grade, High Grade(got in 1/144 and 1/100), Master Grade, Perfect Grade, and there a bigger grade, dont remember the name but the Gundam is HUGE. But if u want to buy 1/144 HG, nv buy the seed and destiny series, not that well make by bandai(some are still great), Better go buy HGUC 1/144

hguc is high grade gundam from U.C. time line,eg zeta,rx-93..You try to watch UC series,you'll love it!..More action than seed and seed destiny!

Added on January 28, 2007, 10:20 amand for information of gunpla,you can go to dalong.net..There will give you clear pic of wat you're buying..

LOL, welcome to the Gunpla train, maybe u should get the MG Strike Freedom.

Depends, but I prefer marking before assembly.

if like me, using the Gundam lining marker, if i make mistake, i use eraser to rub it off.
